When your dead rope machine grows cold
I'll make you another one out of gold

Oh, and when we die
Beasts like everyone
Will find you and remind you
You shined once

C'est la vie, la vie
What may be has already been
It's all the same

And you dance your magic dance
And you try so hard, you try
To retie all those bitter ends and push them back inside

Here's my halo
I don't think I'll need that

There's a stranger at the door, cuts with frayed incisions on the rope we hold

Oh, and when we die
The beast in all of us
Will find you and remind you
You shined once

C'est la vie, la vie
What may be has already been
It's all the same

And you dance your frantic dance
And you try so hard, you try
To retie all those wicked skins and push them back inside

Here's my halo
I don't think I'll need that

And I
wherever, wherever I will go
Wherever I go
I wear that coiled fear
And in a way the riddle ends
When we can but only and always doubt
So let it all out, let it all out

You and I will cut our nooses loose
You and I will draw a course
You and I can find a few more minutes to find a way to find a road
You and I will never be alone
